Alaska Trip

Loved the location. Close to all the activities we did but still felt remote with all the trees.

Unique property that is very peaceful. It has an interesting history. If you are looking for privacy and to get away from the city this is the place for you.

Unique house with a beautiful location

We came to Alaska for a hockey tournament and found that the owner and her family have a hockey background which was great. Cristy even stopped by to say hi when she was at the rink. Cristy was wonderful and made our stay perfect. Hanks House was in a great location and was a very unique house which our kids loved. Cristy was helpful with any questions that came up and attempting to help us find fun excursions. We enjoyed our time at Hanks House which was a great size for a family of 5. We would love to stay here again if we are ever back in Alaska.

Hank's House

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Hank's House. It has fun quirks and corners, awesome windows, and lovely wild flowers all around. We didn't see any animals, but some friends who came in for dinner did. Moose! The owners are attentive and very easy to reach should you need anything. Overall we give them 5 stars!! We were honored to be their very first guests! Thanks Cristy!

About the host

Hosted by HANK'S HOUSE -Cristy

Typical Alaska family that loves to ski, hike, bike, fish and enjoy the quiet and serene space on the Hillside. We appreciate where we live and love to share all four seasons with others.

Why they chose this property

Homesteaded back in 1969, Hank built the original home in 1970 with upgrades in the 90's. Love and care went into every board. As part of our family for 30 years, he wanted us to have the house and we love it's personal, quirky and bright style. We want to share it with others and honor his legacy. It's peaceful, surrounded by majestic trees but open and welcoming. Wild animals regularly trek through -mostly moose, bunnies and lynx. They leave us alone and we leave them alone.

What makes this property unique

A rare find in the busy city, a quiet, spacious, private property that lets you believe you are a hundred miles from everywhere but a quick drive to the street and 5" later you can be at the golf course, hockey rink, ski area, riding trails, x-c trails, Alaska Zoo, magnificent hikes and more. Only 10 miles from the airport and centrally located to take advantage of downtown city activities but a quick left turn south and 3 miles later you can be at Alyeska, a world class alpine resort, 40" to Portage Glacier and 40" north more great fishing, rivers, kayaking and more. A great kick off location to take advantage of outback activities or city delights.
